Occupancy: 65.7 percent (down 8.4 percent)
ADR: $139.18 (up 5.9 percent)
RevPAR: $91.45 (down 3.0 percent)

While the metrics were down week over week, comparisons with 2019 remained consistent, which is further evidence of seasonality in the data as more schools return to class and leisure demand wanes. Concern around COVID-19 cases also persists across the country.

Among the Top 25 Markets, Norfolk/Virginia Beach saw the only occupancy increase over 2019 (up 0.4 percent to 80.0 percent) and the highest RevPAR increase when compared with 2019 (up 24.3 percent to $131.07).

San Francisco/San Mateo experienced the steepest decline in occupancy when compared with 2019 (down 36.8 percent to 56.9 percent).
